Luke 16:20
King James Version
11 Jun 2026
“And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,”
πτωχός
Not just financially poor — ptochos is the one who crouches, who has nothing to stand on. Blessed are those who know they have nothing in themselves before God. That emptiness is not a problem. It is the very space into which the kingdom enters.
